Heather’s Bio

I am a 30-year-old female who loves caring for children of all ages. I have a bachelor's degree in education from Plymouth State University and I graduated with honors in May of 2005. I am also certified by the Office of Child Care Services for infants, toddlers and preschool in Ma. I am CPR and first aid certified by the American Red Cross and I have the proper documentation upon request. I live in Bellingham, Ma and have reliable transportation and a good, clean driving record. I also have a current CORI background check and several references upon request. I also have 5 years experience in the daycare industry. Some of my previous job responsibilities have included:

· Developing age-appropriate activities for various age groups
· Implementing classroom management skills in both a daycare and an elementary school setting
· Developing integrated lesson plans for various age groups
· Taking on household management tasks
· Tutoring and assisting in after-school homework and projects
· Coordinating and supervising play dates and other activities
· Engaging in creative and dramatic play, outdoor activities and art projects

I am energetic and love to engage the children in fun activities, go outdoors, play games and do creative projects. I recently had my beautiful baby girl on October 17, 2010 and am now back to work and looking to find another wonderful family to fill in some of my available days in my schedule. I am currently available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Heather is fun and energetic. My boys loved having her babysit them. She is very creative and doesn't let the boys sit around doing things non-productive. She was also very receptive and compliant to my household rules. Definitely recommend her without hesitation.

Heather has worked with our family for over three years now. She is such a positive influence on both of my children. She has prepared both of them for preschool and kindergarten. At 4 years old my son can not only write his first AND last name but his sisters too, as well as many other milestones! They have learned so much from Heather. She is truly amazing with children even during those difficult phases. She is sincere and responsible and most of all I trust her with my children! She has become a part of our family and will be long after she is watching our kids.

Heather is fabulous with my 10 month old baby. He often experiences stranger anxiety and separation anxiety, but he had no problem whatsoever getting comfortable with Heather. She is full of energy and so attentive and engaging with him. She is so clearly cut out for this type of work, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She is a lifesaver!
